Nicole Pedroche
Director
Nicole is always thankful to have the BEST job in the world, teaching Theatre at RO. After obtaining her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology & Theater at CSUSB, she received her Masters degree from Loyola Marymount. Favorite productions include Drowsy Chaperone, Curtains, In The Heights, & The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Nicole has been nominated for 3 National Youth Arts awards for best direction, and won an NYA for best direction for Curtains. Teaching theater in public schools is her passion, because she feels strongly that EVERY child should have access to the arts. She is thrilled to be working with all grade levels for RO’s first ever District Musical. She thanks her team for being so dedicated to the kids, and thanks her family for their constant support, especially her husband, Brian.

Kylie Molnar
Choreographer
Kylie has been a part of the RO drama family for 5 years now & has enjoyed every minute of it! She has choreographed shows such as The Drowsy Chaperone, Curtains, In the Heights, & directed and choreographed Seussical last spring winning the NYA award for “Best Direction!” When she isn’t teaching here at RO, Kylie is performing all over California in different regional productions. Next up for Kylie, Newsies! She will be playing Katherine Plumber on the So Cal tour this summer! Kylie has had an amazing time “seizing” the choreography for this show & is excited for you to witness some things that have never been done on the ROMS stage before! She would like to thank the cast for all of their hard work & dedication! You all have worked tirelessly to build up the technique & stamina for this show & it has not gone unnoticed. An even bigger thank you to Chris and Nicole for being the ultimate “dream team!” Enjoy the show! #aswitchyswitch
